A mechanic recently replaced the pads of the front brakes. After the service, the break makes squeaking noise when I release the break pedal. According to the mechanic, it is normal, and I better ignore the noise. Is it true?

No. There should be no brake noise at all after a brake job. If the mechanic told you that it’s normal, find a new mechanic.
